The tour visited very beautiful places and included fascinating stories. The guide was excellent, making an effort to explain the history in simple terms so that everyone in our group of 13, from different countries with varying English skills, could understand. I regret not leaving a tip, but hopefully next time I’ll be on another tour and won’t forget!
